My thoughts:

These are a great, non-fermented family-friendly, no too dilly dill pickle. I think they would make a great first canning project for someone new to canning, they are quick to make and there is a little chance of messing up.

I've never canned before and I'm a pickled things addict. I'm quite excited as I already have all the ingredients - except for the pickling cukes which my produce market will sell to me -- already in the house.

I've been trying to do more pickling/canning/freezing, but it's hard with so very little kitchen/cabinet space (I have to do small batches). I think I'll give this a try this year, though, because I love pickles so much!
